Director's Note
Wishing you a joyous Christmas and a holiday season filled with peace, love and laughter.
As you receive this, your student will be finishing his or her fall semester and
is looking forward to coming home for a well-deserved break. This is such a special time for you as parents to reconnect, adjust
and be amazed at the growth that has occurred with your son or daughter over the last few months.
The University and our Office of Parent Relations are here to serve you, our parents. In working
collaboratively with the administration, faculty, and staff, we will provide guidance to the resources to help you and your son or
daughter. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may reach me by phone at 513-745-4266 or by e-mail at
fiskd@xavier.edu or xuparents@xavier.edu.
Xavier is blessed to have such wonderful support from the families of our
students. During this holiday season, we thank you for all you have given to your students and the University.
Sending warm wishes from our Xavier family to yours this holiday season.
